NONINVASIVE MEASUREMENT OF BIOMARKER CONCENTRATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240016385 titled 'NONINVASIVE MEASUREMENT OF BIOMARKER CONCENTRATION
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure is about a device that can determine the concentration of a biomarker in the blood of a specific body part, taking into consideration the physiological constitution of that body part. The device includes a light source that emits light waves towards the body part, a detector unit that measures the reflected light waves from the body part, and a processing unit that receives and analyzes the measured light waves.
- The device uses light waves to measure the concentration of a biomarker in the blood.
- It takes into account the physiological constitution of the body part being analyzed.
- The processing unit can determine characteristic values, such as the signal strength of the reflected light waves, at specific signal sections in the signal profile.
- These characteristic values at specific signal sections are representative of the physiological constitution of the body part.
- By analyzing these characteristic values, the device can determine the concentration of the biomarker in the blood.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Medical diagnostics: This device can be used in medical settings to determine the concentration of specific biomarkers in the blood, which can help in diagnosing various diseases or conditions.
- Personalized medicine: By considering the physiological constitution of the body part, this device can provide more accurate and personalized information about the biomarker concentration, allowing for tailored treatment plans.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Non-invasive measurement: This device offers a non-invasive method of measuring biomarker concentrations in the blood, eliminating the need for invasive procedures like blood sampling.
- Real-time monitoring: The device can provide real-time measurements, allowing for continuous monitoring of biomarker concentrations without the need for repeated blood tests.
Benefits of this technology:
- Accuracy: By considering the physiological constitution of the body part, this device can provide more accurate measurements of biomarker concentrations.
- Convenience: The non-invasive nature of this device makes it more convenient and comfortable for patients, reducing the need for invasive procedures.
- Efficiency: Real-time monitoring and continuous measurements eliminate the need for frequent blood tests, saving time and resources.
Original Abstract Submitted
the present disclosure relates to a device for determining a biomarker concentration in a blood of a body part under consideration of the physiological constitution of the body part. the device comprises a light source for radiating first light waves to the body part, a detector unit for measuring the reflected first light waves reflected from the body part and a processing unit coupled to the detector unit for receiving the measured first light waves. the processing unit is configured to determine, at an occurrence of a first specific signal section in a signal profile of the reflected first light waves during a predefined pressure variation applied to the body part by the detector unit, at least one characteristic value comprising the signal strength of the reflected first light waves, wherein the at least one characteristic value at the specific first signal section of the reflected first light waves is representative of a physiological constitution of the body part, such that a biomarker concentration in the blood is determinable.
